colorful mini pumpkins glowing under a blacklight

Glowing Pumpkins in Mrs. Dombeck's first grade art classes, inspired by Yayoi Kusama! If your first grader told you about making a pumpkin glow under a black light in art- here’s what they’re talking about, they're turning out awesome!!

Student artists first colored their pumpkins with neon crayons and oil pastels. Next they dipped them in a black paint bath, coloring all the white left on the clay black. Finally, they put their little pumpkins together for a surprise: a black light!!
